WHY WE THINK THIS IS SUCH A FABULOUS OFFER:

CAPE TOWN…. is Africa’s most popular destination and has been recognized as one of the most beautiful cities in the World by Forbes. The city offers visitors and residents a wealth of activities, regardless of their age or the time of year.

A full day of guided sightseeing can include either a visit to Cape Point, where the highlights include – driving over spectacular Chapman’s Peak, visiting the tip of the peninsula at the Cape of Good Hope, visiting the penguin colony at Boulder’s Beach and visiting the naval town of Simon’s Town.

Alternatively one can spend the full day of sightseeing in the beautiful Cape Winelands where the highlights include – sampling some fine wines and Cape cuisine while the kids can enjoy an encounter with eagles, wise old owls and assortment of other birds at the Eagle Encounters Raptor Rehabilitation Centre at Spier.

A visit to the Two Oceans Aquarium is home to over 3000 creatures of the sea, including cape fur seals, sharks and penguins.

A scenic helicopter flight is fun for the whole family as you fly over the city bowl, the new Green Point Stadium, the famous four beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay. See the majestic Twelve Apostles Mountains before returning to Cape Town.

SABI SABI….has a fully fledged children’s facility within the lodge environs, which fosters children’s awareness and appreciation for nature. It is designed to create a fun, safe and educational space. Elefun offers two distinct child appropriate programmes namely JUNIOR TRACKER for 4-8 yrs and JUNIOR RANGER for 9-12yrs. Qualified staff provide “edutainment” with bush craft subjects about animals, bugs and birds, tracking, map reading, creative hobbies and crafts, bush walks and child friendly game drives. Mum’s and dads can relax and enjoy the incredible safaris, get pampered in the spa, or just kick back and enjoy some private time, knowing that their children are revelling in their own special bushveld experience.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT OUR FEATURED ACCOMMODATIONS:

CAPE ROYALE…from the grand and elegant facade and entrance to the intimate and relaxed atmosphere of the designer-furnished suites, the Cape Royale is the first choice for discerning travellers seeking the very best in comfort and convenience. With ample living and entertainment areas in all the suites, a choice of two restaurants, state-of-the-art executive meeting rooms and boardrooms, a Spa and Wellness Centre and gym and roof deck pool and bar.

SABI SABI BUSH LODGE…takes its place amongst the top 5-star safari lodges in Africa. Huge wooden decks and sparkling pools look out of the Msuthlu riverbed to a well-utilized waterhole and unspoilt bushveld beyond.

Home to the Big 5- Leopard, Elephant, Rhino, Lion and Buffalo – as well as Cheetah, Wild Dog plus hundreds of species of birds, reptiles, insects and plants, Sabi Sabi’s game experience is unparalleled.

With steep competition in the 5-star hotel arena, the Pepper Club has had to think outside the box to distinguish itself from other Cape Town hotels. Consequently guests can make use of Pepper Club’s chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce Phantom for airport pick-ups, luxurious sight-seeing or a glamorous night on the town. Guests also have full access to the Pepper Club on the Beach, in Camps Bay. Here one can enjoy cocktails, or indulge in Michelin-star lunches or sunset dinners on Cape Town’s most picturesque beach.

With all this being said – the WOW factor of this hotel must be its incredible Penthouse Suite which takes up 2 floors and over 740 sq. m, inside and out. The views over the city and harbour are exquisite…along with the large private pool and outdoor deck areas. This 3-bedroom suite also features its own private sauna as well as wine cellar. It really is quite something but at a cool R50,000.00 per night…one shouldn’t expect anything less.

A lot of money has been spent on this development but only time will tell whether the Pepper Club will live up to its reputation of sophistication and unparalleled luxury living in this beautiful city.

The warm colours of Northern Africa and the soft touch of rich furnishings inspired by the East, combine to present guests with an experience as vivid as it is lavish. The hotel’s 137 spacious rooms and suites are tastefully decorated, intricately designed and equipped with the finest amenities – including silky smooth Egyptian Cotton Sheets, flat-screen plasma televisions, and wireless Internet access.

Officially certified as a Halal hotel, the property has the pleasure of offering guests the choice of either an Indian influenced fine dining dinner option, or a more relaxed Continental style restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.

For a special treat, guests can enjoy a traditional shishah while lazily lounging by the hotel’s heated pool – or for the more indulgent visitors, the spa or on-site hair salon lie in wait just around the corner.

Driven by lofty Middle Eastern standards of service and style, if the property doesn’t stand to impress, there’s always the Patchi Chocolate shop featuring Lebanese imported goodies to leave guests with a smooth, sweet aftertaste.

The first lunch option we considered was Rodwell House. The 5-Star boutique hotel has only recently opened their dining doors to the public, and now guests have the chance to enjoy lunch al fresco above manicured gardens and a stunning view of the St. James tidal pools. The menu offers a 3-course combination option of locally sourced creations that change depending on what’s available and what’s fresh. Not to mention, we found that dining amongst the impressive collection of contemporary South African art was just another element of good taste. Chris, a former sommelier at the Cape Grace Hotel, will surely recommend the perfect wine to cleanly cap your day of touring; and suddenly what could have been a fish and chips experience has transformed completely.

We continued our research a bit further down the road at the Boulder’s Beach Restaurant – just adjacent to the likes of our little feathered penguin friends. Though much more casual than Rodwell House – we found the food no less refined. A pleasant mix of locals and tourists lazed on the veranda and watched the sunshine bounce off the Atlantic just ahead. The menu caters to nearly every impulse – offering options from oysters three ways to a worked up beef burger and back around to salt and pepper chilli calamari. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, but the presentation and culinary skill was immaculate. Another great option to make a more delectable touring experience.

A unos pasos de distancia esta el hotel Circa on the Square, que pertenece al mismo grupo que el Hotel Icon (Urban Hip Hotels).  En este caso hay habitaciones Executive y Penthouse, la diferencia principal siendo el tamaño.  Todas las habitaciones tienen camas dobles y un sofá cama para un niño si desean.

Estos hoteles tienen un concepto diferente con respecto al desayuno.  Los pasajeros reciben un cupón de cierto valor que puede ser cambiado por comidas y bebidas de 5 locales diferentes en las cercanías del hotel, lo que ofrece una variedad increíble. No ofrecen servicio de habitación y el hotel Icon no tiene teléfonos en las habitaciones.

Take a moment to acquaint yourself with our pre-packaged tours and our incentive capabilities, or rather opt for a bit of window-shopping and explore the likes of our favorite new gadget – the brilliant and bemusing interactive map!
